Axe wielding man in Croydon Purley Tesco Extra

[Oxide™]

I don't normally post these kind of threads but as this Tesco is 2 miles from my house and I frequent it quite often it kind of hits home a bit too close for comfort.

They haven't caught him yet but I suspect mental health issues - seems since the government's cut on mental health all sorts of ill people are roaming the streets now

Not sure what I would have done in the situation - I hope I would have kept my cool, lurked around and John Rambo'd his ass from behind (not in that way)

I got offered a job in Croydon about 8 years ago. I turned it down because of what the area was like when I went to the interview. They obviously had trouble getting anyone because they came back three times with a higher offer. I still turned it down.

Referring to all these Croydon comments - just to be clear the axe man was in Purley Tesco which is in the nicer/affluent southern area of the borough of Croydon

Yes Croydon the city itself (and Thornton Heath/Norbury) are rough but that's what seems to happen in modern multicultural areas

Was gonna say, Croydon town centre is horrid, but Purley is arguably nicer than many inner London areas.

I'm moving just south of Purley in a few months, but no worries, I have lived in Tottenham for the past 3 years and not been stabbed or shot yet, I'm sure I will be find in the burbs

Moving to Reedham? I'm in Kenley - welcome to the hood fellow SAffer
